Abstract

A connector for forming sharp angle termination of an optical fiber cable is formed by a pair of mirror image members which together define a profiled fiber channel having a small radius of curvature. A fiber is prepared by stripping the buffer from the free end and placing it in the channel of one member. The other member is placed thereon and secured thereto. The outer profile of the connector can have any configuration and need only enclose the fiber channel.
